egypt's islamised rulers say to prosecute the opposition for allegedly inciting an uprising just days after a low turnout referendum approved a controversial new constitution. hello good morning you're watching live from moscow with me andrey pharma. so four people have died and four others are in a critical condition after a pan prasenjit jet crash landed at a moscow airport the plane is said to have overshot the runway splintering into pieces and littering an outlying highway with temporary but the crash investigation now in full swing we can cross live to our feet within a kitchen of a resort for new cover airport medina is there anything new that has emerged about the crash. right well of the wreckage of the plane had

been cleared over at the unite in particular the cabin of the plane that threw on of the highway right after the plane broke into three large pieces so the over the cabin of the plane that was flying right owned the roads what has also been removed and now the traffic is fully restored but as you can see behind my back the main of the this massive part of the plane is still lies very close to the highway and the scene is really does stating also over the night if video showing the moment of the judge crash has appeared all over on the internet now still not via dashboard camera from a passing by vehicle it contrary to the belief that a moment of this tragedy to consent to this never. moved off of the day the end of the deck of the tragic crash after taking a second glancing at town it's the rolled out of from the highway onto the key

skyway for rolled out from the runway onto the heat leaves down highway ran into a very damaging a wing and a parts of the plane crashed off of the road and now at one of the tragedy happened the witnesses those drivers in the car were the first to rush to help to try to rescue the of passengers on the board according to the witnesses the scene was that dallas stating it looked very frightening and really dreadful and some of the witnesses. later it's odd to those passengers on board the plane were covered in blood and we can now listen to some of them. i saw one woman all covered in blood it was the flight attendant christina she said that the plane overshot the runway but they weren't carrying any passengers and that there is another surviving flight attendant there the rescue unit came very proud but the ambulance couldn't get through because of the traffic so we gave the injured flight attendant first aid to

our best knowledge called her mother to tell her she's ok wrap her woman blankets and clothing we could find and they even found a car to take her to hospital. because of harrowing accounts there medina but so we understand that the flight recorder has been taken away now and is being examined is there any breakthrough as to what caused this accident. while there are currently three and three versions why of this crash top and now these versions are pilot error all weather conditions and some possible technical problems with the plane now earlier a roster of asian cars out that the crew on the board of this plane was a very experienced after a first preliminary report said periods of gods one of the causes may be a pilot pilot error oh now we're receiving reports that there are also might be something wrong with the plane's braking system meanwhile this this plane to pull

you to all four is a passenger ship just that it has a capacity to carry two hundred ton passengers and this particular plane it belonged to a russian low cost or red wings. ok we'll leave it there thank you meeting about somebody in the kitchen of artie correspondent at the new cafe at airport well a retired american airlines captain a member of the civil aviation team spectrum group says the experienced crew may have prevented a major tragedy. in a very prejudiced way because i'm a pilot and have more than twenty years for airline flying i want to say that it was probably some situational awareness that the pilots had that they saw what was happening to the aircraft and did their best either through new super murder pedals at this time using the engines to help also from their more thrust on one

side or less on the other will also help to remove your when so you want to go to remember these things happen in such a short period of time that taking a look at what's happening and how to try and control over a situation takes a lot of skill it's not something you practice in the simulator going off the end of a runway so the experience and combine to prevent a more catastrophic situation from occurred and you will find plenty more pictures and eyewitness accounts from the same on our website at www dot com you can also find out more about the plane itself. it feels like getting business in the u.s. has never been better with people rushing to stores fearing firearms may seem become a forbidding fruit that's after barack obama urged a ban on some weapons following the connecticut primary school tragedy. takes up

the story. about two weeks ago actually on this particular wall here. we are is four rows down four rows across. with everything going on in politics right now with the possible there and then everything everyone is flooding in. purchasing right away gun stores all across the u.s. are reporting record sales just two weeks after the tragic shooting at the elementary school in newtown americans are scrambling to buy the same type of weapon that adam lanza used in the connecticut shooting plus high capacity magazines and a lot of them panic buying trigger it out of fear that the white house is out to ban the weapons but this time the words need to lead to action no eight ar fifteen for this customer all sold out at the store while prices on line have gone through the rules have been going for fifty eight hundred eight hundred dollars to twenty

five hundred three thousand dollars even in some cases it's just the most amazing gun buying spree i've ever seen so many gun retailers now quite cynically refer to be administration's ban talk as the obama gun stimulus that's how good it's been for their business so how do you go from a president with a tough gun control agenda to someone gun dealers call the greatest gun salesman in america the manufacturers of semi-automatic rifles report that their market has grown thirty percent over the last four years states like north carolina iowa you have seen a one hundred percent increase in gun sales over the same period in the wake of the tragedy in newtown one of the country's biggest ammunition suppliers said they sold more than three years worth of magazines in just three days although president obama himself has so far failed to act on his pledge to ban assault weapons his words have certainly provoked action just not the type he may have wanted for

someone they say is against. going to great job for this. review should be in order to sell even more weapons many dealers hype up the gun apocalypse scenario. the moment. the star. struck. but many of them don't actually see any drastic changes happening any time soon after all any significant gun control measures adopted in the past ultimately clashed with the second amendment of the constitution and were subsequently scrapped. tail it will genia check out. court give some ground to the opposition slash the sentences for some of the child activists while campaigners push for even greater leniency later in the program we look at the history of the unrest in the monarchy. and america's america braces to

from the media that sometimes disk. information so i'll repeat we're ready to talk to or opposition forces but we start from the premise that they should not only think about the room missions but also the fate of the syrian people and if they think that russia could play a role in the country's tragedy they should meet our representatives with no preconditions official notice we also managed an exclusive talk with the foreign minister more official thoughts and assessment of the syrian crisis is coming up in that interview later this hour meanwhile some syrian analysts are convinced that by warmongering and political inflexibility the national syrian coalition will never win the hearts and minds of the syrian population. when the opposite position the coalition now the national coalition. decision to make probably an executive. important decision to make whether they want to proceed and join the talks abide

by the geneva communique or still get stuck really and bogged down with the islamist governments that are supporting them for them to prove that they represent fragment of the syrian opposition or from the syrian population they have to get to get on board. egypt's top prosecutor is looking to outlaw the leaders of the opposition launching a probe into mohamed morsi three top opponents they are accused of inciting their followers to overthrow the islamist president earlier this week the country's new constitution was officially adopted after a two stage referendum that received the support of over sixty percent of voters amid a low turnout and allegations of massive fraud opposition activists say the new charter hastily drawn up by the muslim brotherhood effectively enshrined shiria rule rule in the country neil clark a world affairs contributor for britain's guardian newspaper explained why he thinks morsi is going after the opposition now i. think he wants to sort of deflect

attention from the economy because the underlying problem the biggest we're facing is the economic crisis one of four egyptians are without jobs poverty is on the right he just ended subsidies on fuel which means that the prices of gas and electricity are going to rocket and so this is a kind of a sort of smokescreen i think it's very keen to get the opposition tied up in these the big challenges to sort of stop them from focusing on opposing him on the issues where he's very weak and i think also he'd be worried that you know a sizable minority thirty six over thirty six percent of people voted against the constitution and the fact seems to be that that history is on the way. and i think that obviously you know i think we can see more protests in the new year. cheating afghanistan out of millions of dollars of income couple accuses some nato link companies of tax evasions but there's doubt amid experts that the country would never have seen the money anyway find out why later in the program.

i don't have russian children by u.s. citizens will no longer be possible after president putin signed the bill containing the amendment into law the measure is a tit for tat response to american sanctions against russian officials it sees its human rights violators further details now. on this diplomatic rap i am joined by our chief lucia arena thanks for joining us it's a balanced response from moscow as the thing to split public opinion here in russia . it certainly has but the russian lawmakers remain convinced that it actually is a balanced response you have to understand that we're talking about a law which consists of several parts most of those are also putting a financial and travel or restrictions on several american officials or people have been found guilty of committing crimes against russian citizens only one part of this law deals with banning adoption of russian children to by american

citizens now the law has been is fired so to speak by the case of duma you are going to find a russian boy who was not even two years old when he was adopted by the american family and died several months later when he's foster father left him walked in the car in the blistering heat for nine hours so there is so the russian lawmakers feel like the american system does not provide enough protection for the russian kids once they get overseas once they're adopted by the american families and also does not allow for the russian officials to monitor the situation of the russian children they are in the care of american adoptive families but of course as you have said this law has caused an outcry here in russia as a lot of people believe that this will actually limit the chances of russian orphans of finding a good job to home however there's also another law that is going to come into fact that that is hardly anybody really speaks about but that will actually improve the situation is supposed to prove this iteration of orphan children in russia will

also be important help of financial and other sort of help to the orphanage facilities for russian foerster homes and so forth so really it's kind of a two way street once you take a really close careful look at it. and. can you remind us about the origins of this diplomatic spat. of course this all was said this new particular law is seen as a response to the so-called anti immigrant or the so-called magness key act which was adopted by the american lawmakers just a couple of weeks ago and that. in turn puts a chair with a financial interest action on a number of russian officials who the mayor and the americans believe have been somehow embroiled in the case of seventy minute russian lawyer cool was charged with tax evasion put in preliminary confinement and then died while in custody now

so game against his family friends and several fuming wives of musicians believe the charges against the music you were trumped up and that he died in custody for on the. teens so it's the russian law that has been adopted actually deals with the with officials call of signed. ok thank you that is. well we spoke to a former director of american adoption congress who told us that u.s. authorities don't track the child's welfare once an adoption is approaching. a lot of the cases have gotten very very light sentences for the caretakers whether forster or adoptive of russian children here in the united states but we certainly have no idea how many children are enduring abuses surviving abuses of all kinds the children that died at the hands of their adoptive parents were tortured

in some horrendous ways they were sexually abused they were burnt they were starved they were killed ever any conceivable kind of torture one human being could inflict on another was done to these children so these were the parents that were caught and prosecuted nineteen how many more there is there is absolutely no way of knowing the united states has no system of follow up on adoptions once an adoption is finalized the child is considered as if born to that family. coming up around rolls out its hardware in the face of external pressure in a few minutes massive naval exercises in the persian gulf as to iran wants to show it can handle regional security despite the growing mountain of western backed sanctions plus selling it all off they look british they sound british but they are but are they really what they seem coming up we discover the fate of businesses in

the u.k. . dozens of jailed activists in bahrain who took part in anti-government protests have had their sentences reduced the opposition though wasn't satisfied with the ruling repeating its demands for the immediate release of all political prisoners artie's alexy our share of speech spoke to some of the activists as he looked at what lies behind the unrest. when it came to supporting calls for democracy in middle eastern or north african states while denouncing government sponsored violence leaders of the west were vocally critical from our graphic has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave out a very clear message president which is it is time for him to go but when scenes of violent clashes between riot police and reform complainer scame from bahrain the definition of democracy shifted and rhetoric softened. in the summer of the us

state department came up with a statement expressing its concerns over the human rights situation and alleged torture in bahrain this was only several months after washington had restarted weapons sales to this gulf state dissenters in bahrain have been directing anger at their government for months but now stop arming the killers is a message they are more often sending out to the west somehow the impending blood is worthless and the libyan blood is more important it's just critical a stand so you see fall from travels to europe to direct a change into what he believes to be brutal repression in his country he and others like him have managed to alert human rights organizations but that's as far as it goes there go. clinton made a statement about bahrain about the. situation in bahrain and this. one protester was killed you know and show you that there is no impact on the

ground we are a victim because we live in a country they condemn the violence committed by the bahraini government against the prius for the protests that and beheading but that is still continuing for decades bahrain has been one of washington's closest allies in the gulf its naval base houses the u.s. fifth fleet and six thousand troops in a seemingly irreversible decision made decades ago despite a growing anti-american mood among some of bahrain's neighbors. anything happens in the bush era plan or any of the other players that there are allegations of a nuclear weapon being built we are very close to all of those sites and we have to make the right decision in preventing any kind of catastrophe coming here we are or are not capable of doing that and that's why we turn to our friends and allies and officials firmly deny that washington plays a decisive role in preventing any revolution happening in bahrain but even the bahraini government's information minister suggests the us main fact be playing

a double game. i think the bahraini opposition is a key ally of the us leader of the opposition and the terrorist members of the opposition have close ties with foreign embassies in bahrain we can leak some of the old many documents proving that if this is true then washington sitting comfortably you can quickly switch sides but for now the opposition in bahrain is left to wonder as to why calls to support democracy from some are less worthy of attention than others like see russia ski r.t. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. let your imagination run wild the animator behind blockbusters like wall-e. and ratatouille did he set himself the task of creating a new superhero every day of the year see some of his creations on our web page and also there is a case of another day another scandal this twelve million euros from the tourism industry goes missing in greece and this when the country needs it most find out

who is to blame at r.t. dot com. companies are reportedly seventy million dollars in debt to afghanistan this could pull the keys is some of them of tax evasion the main focus is on the military's biggest food supply of food and he will activists brian becker things could pull has enough skeletons and he's close to karzai is caught between a rock and a hard place he knows his very survival the fact of the matter is the occupation of afghanistan like almost all foreign occupation is riddled with corruption by the occupiers and by the elites whether we sippin of their assistance and aid does the

karzai government really represent the afghan people does it represent working families does it represent the poor farmers i would say absolutely not there is no indication of that whatsoever to the extent that the karzai government is demanding from foreign forces or independent domestic forces any sort of revenue you can you can believe you can guess for sure i would say that much of that money will be treated as loot something that will be the private premise for those who are in power the elite themselves. with two days to go until america plunges off the fiscal cliff there is still no deal in sight between entrenched republicans and democrats millions of americans stand to see their taxes go up dramatically in two days' time but the sticking point holding up negotiations are the rates for the rich the republicans have rejected any deal that would see those taxes rise while the democrats insist on the wealthy paying up a little more investment advisor patrick young says it's all gotten very worried.

i'm really worried going into twenty thirteen i mean ultimately the great thing is that humankind will survive and we will all remain the same people but the problem we have is first of all america seems to be heading suicidally towards this thing the fiscal cliff the possibility that it may enter another leg or recession or possibly even depression as a result of legislators inability to curb their how but they're spending like footballers' wives and then on the other side of the atlantic we also have this problem the european union is getting to the point where it seems to think it solved the problems solving your problems means that twenty five percent of the workforce of several countries are out of work fifty plus percent of the youth of say somewhere like spain are out of work that really frightens me. but with europe still in the throes of the euro crisis we look at the biggest shocks for the block over twenty twelve. years goldfish is nobel peace prize to the tune of molotov
